Have you thought about a raise on the flop or just fold?

Just because he's the PFA, it doesnt mean that his hand is stronger. I mean, what range do we give him? His range is very wide here.

I have A-high here.
Can I bluff? -dont think so
can I bet for value? not think so. Therefore I wouldnt 3bet on the flop.

But folding seems weak. Vs 2ndbarrel I fold if my equity doesnt grow.

I agree that we have the best hand here a lot but if you are only calling one street (and our equity is not great so we rarely improve) aren't we just burning money versus an aggressive fishy player?

Like in the previous hand with 77, folding may seem weak but our advantage comes from value betting when we hit and playing with equity. in this case we don't have either unless you want to call him down with A high.
